Fading Highways

Pack the leather bags in the dusty trunk

Old engine hums, a familiar song

Leaving the porch light burning low

Map on the dashboard,

nowhere to go

But back to the places we used to know

Two-lane highway under fading light

Diner coffee in the quiet night

We raised our babies in that little town

Built up our dreams when the rain poured down (hmmm)

One last road, together,

we ride With a lifetime of love sitting by my side Through

the neon sign dreams and the quiet motels We've got stories that

only the highway tells (ooh-ooh)

Yellowed photographs on the dashboard stand

You reach across and you take my hand

No words are needed in the golden hour Just the engine's sigh

and the sunset's power

We survived the winters,

we survived the storms

Keeping each other safe and warm And now the headlights fade away

Into the promise of a brand new day

One last road, together,

we ride Underneath the sunrise,

side by side

Through the neon sign dreams and the quiet motels We've got stories

that only the highway tells

Just one last road

Together (hmmm)
